A backwater valve is one of the most effective ways to prevent sewer backups and basement flooding in your home or business. During heavy rain or municipal sewer overloads, wastewater can flow back into your property through the drain line, causing expensive damage, health hazards, and major inconvenience. Our licensed 24/7 emergency plumbersspecialize in backwater valve installation, repair, and maintenance across the GTA.

 

Installing a backwater valve creates a one-way barrier inside your main sewer line. Under normal conditions, wastewater flows out as usual. But if the city’s sewer backs up, the valve automatically closes, preventing contaminated water from entering your property. Many municipalities now recommend or even require backwater valves as part of their flood prevention programs, and some offer rebates for installation.

 

We proudly use top-quality valves and parts from trusted brands to ensure long-lasting performance and reliability. Our team can inspect your current drainage system, determine the best location for installation, and handle all permits and approvals where required. We also provide 24/7 emergency service if your existing valve fails or if you’re experiencing a sudden sewer backup.
